I'm very excited to see it in both uboot and the kernel. Results thus far: image: Fedora-LXDE-armhfp-23-20150724-sda.raw.xz Installed image the xzcat | dd way Installed uboot by cd <mountpoint>/usr/share/uboot/Linksprite_pcDuino3_Nano/ dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 seek=8 (There was also u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb and u-boot.img in there, but u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin was what I was using before so I stuck with it) Stuck sd card into pcDuino and powered it on. Booted into U-Boot 2015.07 - Both hdmi, and usb keyboard worked in uboot land Got the following Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-23-20150724 Boot Options. 1: Fedora-Minimal-armfp-23-20150724 (4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl) Enter choice: 1 1: Fedora-Minimal-armfp-23-20150724 (4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl) Retrieving file: /initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc3.git3.1.fc23.armv7hl.img and off it went. It was originally failling to read the initrd at this point (which is why I had this typed out), but I installed the image on a different sd card and things worked. It did originally dis not not startup the graphics. In the end this was because the initial-setup was crashing. After I got initital-setup turned off and did some tests in mult-user, I switched back to graphical, and it booted right up into LXDE. Plus, it booted into the proper resolution (1920x1200). You might not be able to tell but "I AM EXCITED!! THANK YOU!!" :)

So, what's broken. 1 -networking

2 - initial-setup "ImportError: No module named pyanaconda.users

I might be missing something with the networking, but all the poking I do is acting like there isn't anything there.

How would I determine if somehow the network driver / hardware isn't being loaded versus some userside configuration issue?
